Cozy Christmas Table with Plaid and Natural Accents
Christmas Table with Plaid and Natural Accents

Have you started thinking about your Christmas table yet? We don’t have a
formal dining room in this house, but I always have fun dressing up our
breakfast room table for the holidays.
I’m sharing how I have it decorated
as part of the Celebrating Christmas Home Tour hosted by my friend Leen at
Sand Dollar Lane.
There are ideas for trees, wreaths, tables, and more, so make sure you visit
everyone. The links are at the bottom of this post.
Our Christmas decor has a major plaid theme happening this year, and the
table continues with that look. I wanted to make things feel cozy and comfy
and I love the way that plaid accents do that.
For this year’s table setting, I started with a folded
plaid throw blanket
and used it as the table runner. The brown dishes were a gift from a friend a few years ago, and the white dishes came from the thrift store.
The centerpiece is simply a wooden caddy filled with pomegranates from the
grocery store and branch clippings from the yard. I added a few dried orange
slices and pine cones to fill it in.
TIP: if you have a container you want to use but it’s too deep, place
some crumpled up paper in the bottom first. It will fill it up so your items
are more visible.
My mom gave me the pretty glasses a few months ago when she was cleaning out her cabinets. Aren’t they pretty?
Antique Oak Hutch Decorated for Christmas
Our antique oak hutch is always a favorite place to add Christmas decor. I
always have white ironstone pitchers and platters in here, but added a few
simple pieces to give it a holiday look.

These little
birch and paper house LED ornaments
are a favorite addition to my shop this year. The look perfect with the
Johnson Brothers Friendly Village plates
I added to the hutch.
Nuts and dried fruits also give it a holiday look. And I added the miniature
vintage mercury glass ornaments for a pop of red to coordinate with the
table.
I never saw a white ironstone pitcher that I didn’t love. This curvy-handled
pitcher was the first piece of my collection. Most of my pieces have come from estate sales, yard sales, and thrift stores.

Christmas-themed tiered tray
Decorating my
three tier wood tray
is one of my favorite quick and easy ways to get ready for the holidays. I
added some smaller ironstone pieces, my
santa mugs, and some little
preserved boxwood topiaries.

The little
green stoneware tree
is another fun addition to my shop this season. I only buy things for the
shop that I love, and sometimes I can’t bear to part with them, lol.
Some
red striped napkins
and vintage silver make the buffet ready for dining. They look so festive!
I wasn’t satisfied with the centerpiece so I draped a little wood bead garland across the top handle. It looks like it’s wearing a necklace and is
ready for a celebration now.
Simple, rustic, cozy, and maybe even a little elegant. That’s how I would
describe our little Christmas table.

Angie, I always look forward to your posts. You are so talented and your Christmas decor this year is amazing as usual. I am loving those little birch houses! Super clever using a blanket as a runner too!
Angie, I love everything in your breakfast room! I was instantly drawn to your hutch with all of the vintage goodness. I recently styled a tablescape using my MIL's Friendly Village Plates…they are perfect for the holidays! Your table looks so festive with the plaid runner and the toolbox full of pomegranates, orange slices and pinecones. The wood garland was the perfect finishing touch!
Angie, the entire room is so pretty. I love the centerpiece and your tablesetting. Those chargers! But your china cabinet decor definitely caught my eye, too. So classic!
I love your Christmas breakfast room! The vintage iron stone, plaid accents, and fresh greenery are all so pretty. The little birch and paper ornaments are absolutely adorable! Merry Christmas, Angie!
Such an inviting and cozy space with so many little treasures to take in and enjoy. Love how you displayed them all! Merry Christmas to you!
Such a pretty table and dining room! I love the plaids and that centerpiece caddy. I love how you styled the hutch too!
I saved your post from Friday's tour as the last link that I would visit because I knew that your decorations would be spectacular and they are! I so much enjoyed admiring every single picture that you shared. I hope that you will get to have both girls at home for Christmas this year.
I love your touches of plaid! Such a beautiful table and centerpiece! And that hutch….styled to perfection. I love everything and pinned for inspiration. Thanks you for sharing your beautiful style! Merry Christmas!
Angie,
I love the plaid runner and striped napkins. Everything is so festive!
I love the plaid against the natural elements, and I agree love all the white ironstone pitchers. You have done some really beautiful styling of your table and hutch. So glad to be part of the hop with you and Happy Holidays.
I'm mad for plaid, too!! I love everything about this cozy and welcoming space. Thank you for sharing your inspiring ideas with us. Merry Christmas!
I love the wooden bead touches and the pomegranates! So festive!
There is so much vintage goodness in this post – I can't stop pouring over each photo! I love love love the pomegranate centerpiece, especially the view against the hutch! What a gorgeous room!
I love the warm, natural feel of this tablescape. It feels simple and special at the same time. I am pinning for next year!
Your dining room says the holidays are here. Love all the plaid and the caddy turned centerpiece is so pretty filled with pomegranates and fresh greenery. I think I'm experiencing a little ironstone envy too! Love it Angie!
I just luv all your beautiful decor and those pink touches. pinned. Ann
Angie, of course I love your cozy Christmas decor with all the great naturals and fun pieces from your shop. I'm using pomegranate too this year. Such a great color and when they start to turn I'll make sure to eat them or squeeze out the juice. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas with your husband and girls.
